In 1947, Britain decided to relinquish its Mandate over Palestine and refer the issue of the status of Palestine to the United Nations. The United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution recommending partitioning Palestine into Arab and Jewish States with economic union between them and that Jerusalem be a separate area to be administered by the United Nations for an initial period of ten years.
